Jay-Z and Kanye West ‘s Watch The Throne Tour sold out in many of the cities it hit, but did you know that you can get the duo also known as “The Throne” to perform for you? This month they charged almost $6 million (that ish cray) to perform at a Sweet 16 party in Dubai, and the birthday girl is the daughter of multi-billionaire Sheikh Mansour. This birthday party took place two weeks before Christmas, and if Jay-Z and Beyonce are expecting their first child now, why would he travel such a long distance so close to Bey’s due date? Another reason for us to question the rumors that she’s due in December. Find out more about this beyond Sweet 16 party at HipHopWired .

Might the manipulative, large-breasted roof soon get blown off DivorceGate? In the latest issue of Life & Style , William Humphries – the father of Kris Humphries and the very brief father-in-law of Kim Kardashian – says he’d “love to write a book” about the ordeal Kim and her family put his son through. “It’s important to him that Kris’ side of the story is out there,” a friend tells the tabloid . Humphries may not be entitled to any of Kim’s assets, due to a prenup, but no non-disclosure agreement was ever signed. He and/or his dad are free to dish and dish and dish and “Kris has told his father everything,” a source notes. William “has many stories to tell,” the magazine reports. Kris, of course, says he just wants to move forward and find a new NBA team. But we have a feeling this story is far from over.

Mason Dash Disick turns two years old today and it’s rather clear what all THG readers should chip in to get the tyke: a plane ticket as far away from his family as possible. As you might expect, Mason – who will soon be a big brother – was bombarded with well wishes over Twitter this afternoon, as mother Kourtney wrote: “Happy birthday to the love of my life. My precious little angel. It is my joy to see you grow every single day.” Khloe chimed in with “Happy Birthday, Mason. You are one of the greatest things to happen to our family! I love you like you will never understand,” while Kris Jenner referred to MDD as her “little angel.” The kid is a cutie, even the most ardent Kardashian basher must admit as much. We wish Mason health, happiness and a life free from sex tapes. [Photo: WENN.com]
For those of y’all who thought we were playing when we said Evelyn Lozada and Jennifer Williams are no longer BFF’s , here’s an update that should let you know just how real it is. During Shaunie O’Neal’s birthday dinner celebration this weekend the two ladies allegedly came to BLOWS! Shaunie O’Neal had a belated birthday celebration in Miami over the past weekend, and an eye witness at the gathering claims there was a crazy confrontation between Jennifer Williams and her (former?) BFF Evelyn Lozada! According to the witness, as Shaunie was celebrating her birthday at Philippe Chow, guests Evelyn and Jen got into an intense verbal argument, which ended with Evelyn allegedly hitting Jennifer on the top of the head with a clutch purse! After more harsh words, the two were separated. We’re told VH1′s cameras were rolling and the entire incident was caught on tape. On December 10th Shaunie and Tami Roman, who is also a cast member, tweeted to each other about the party being “interesting and epic.” Viewers of the show have watched Eve and Jen’s close friendship slowly fall apart, namely due to the fact that Jennifer went public with some not so nice comments about Evelyn’s fiance Chad Ochocinco. Jennifer and Evelyn also no longer follow each other on Twitter. If you love drama, then you are going to love when the season debuts in February 2012. Calls to Jennifer and Evelyn’s reps were not returned. We spoke to a few sources of our own who confirmed that this one is TRUE! One insider said that when the drinks started flowing Ev began really acting up. Aw man! We know how fiesty she gets. Probably part of the reason folks love her so. Nonetheless, ladies that is no way to act at Philippe Chow. Them chicken skewers alone ought to be enough to strike up a peace treaty! We’re actually kinda sad to hear these girls haven’t been able to get past their differences. EvLo and Jenn were the OG Mean Girls. Hopefully by the time the reunion swings around they’ll have found some newbie to throw drinks at unite over! Source
Happy days are here again for our favorite dirty dog and his homewreckin’ Becky! Tiki Barber has finally got him a job. Too bad it doesn’t look like it has anything to do with a football field. Here’s the details: Tiki Barber is switching careers. After his failed NFL comeback attempt, the former New York Giant is working with international shipping company First Global Xpress. Barber sent a vague e-mail to friends notifying them of his new gig, and a company spokeswoman confirmed he’ll “partner with us on some business development opportunities,” but didn’t elaborate. Other sources told us Barber wanted to head a consultancy/placement service for ex-NFLers to become mentors to young athletes, but it’s unclear whether FGX has any ties to that business. Neither Barber nor FGX chief executive Justin Brown responded to e-mails. Okay Tiki, we see you got the checks coming in again. If you’re lucky Ginny Cha might let you keep a little bit after she gets them child support and alimony payments cracking! Source More On Bossip!

There’s almost nothing I enjoy more than shots of a hot chick at her twenty-first birthday party, maybe twin hotties on their twenty-first birthday would be alright, so these shots are all I need. Here’s Modern Family cutie Sarah Hyland all dressed up in her birthday outfit, which I love, but she looks more like a girl at her sweet sixteen party. What the hell? I’m not complaining, I just want to know what her secret is. Not that I’m an old man or anything, but maybe if I looked a little younger Sarah wouldn’t be so creeped out when I showed up in a trench coat with a camera taped to my shoe.
Yes. Someone actually thinks these muhfuggahs have money. According to TMZ , a “ Jagged Edge fan” is suing the group because he claims they turned down a gig… The groom at the center of the controversy is Victor Diaz … who claims he wanted to surprise his fiancee by getting JE to perform their famous “Let’s Get Married” song at their wedding on November 19. Diaz claims he reached an agreement with the band’s reps … and shelled out $10k for the deposit and other costs — but the band never showed up. But … the band says they were never aware of the gig — telling TMZ Diaz must have been dealing with someone who falsely posed as a representative of the band. Diaz isn’t buyin’ it … and believes the band decided to flake on the wedding when they got an offer for a higher paying gig on the same weekend. Someone offered to pay Jagged Edge more than $10K to perform somewhere??? GTFOHWTBS! Diaz says he’s preparing to sue Jagged Edge, the record label and JE’s management company — telling TMZ, “They humiliated me and cost my wife her dream.” A rep for Jagged Edge tells us, “They are very heartbroken and sad that [Victor’s] wedding got destroyed due someone using our name without permission.” The rep adds, “As far as court goes … if the guy does decide to sue, good luck, because we didn’t agree to anything and he will see he had a forgery contract.” What the rep meant is “good luck, because these fools can’t even pay me to make this comment. Diaz should’ve just skipped all this foolishness and let cousin Papi sing at the wedding instead. More On Bossip!

This was the man behind the trigger during Thursday’s shooting at Virginia Tech. Police say Ross Truett Ashley, 22, stole a car at gunpoint Wednesday from his landlord’s office in what would be a precursor to the events a day later: On Thursday, police say he killed the police officer, then turned the gun on himself in a parking lot on the campus. “Ross wasn’t that kind of person. He was friendly, nice,” said Nic Robinson, a 21-year-old history major at Radford University preparing for law school. “Obviously, he had his bad days, but it was the same as anyone else having those days.” The most notable setback in his life that Robinson knew about was Ashley’s breakup over the summer with his girlfriend. It clearly hurt him, she said, but she never saw him obsess over it. There were other issues in Ashley’s life, however, that he wasn’t as forthcoming about, she said. “We all have our family problems, so the way that he was saying it just made it kind of seem like, ‘just another thing to add to the list,” she said. “He never made anything sound like, ‘This is serious, I need you to sit down.’” Ashley never talked about guns or weapons, and she said she never knew whether he owned or knew how to use one. He also didn’t use drugs or drink heavily. R.I.P. to the officer killed, condolences to the both families. Source More On Bossip!
